Overview
If you are currently sending certain emails via Shopify, such as abandoned checkout or delivery notifications, that you plan to start sending via Klaviyo, you will need to disable these emails in Shopify to avoid sending them twice. Make sure to disable these emails right before you enable the corresponding flow in Klaviyo to avoid a gap in sending.
You can request transactional status for emails that do not contain marketing content by contacting our Customer Success team.
